Do you have special memories of the Horseshoe Ballroom in Browerville? Have you heard many stories about it from days gone by?
A lot of people from the Browerville area and beyond take an interest when the word Horseshoe Ballroom is mentioned in conversation.

Well, that is exactly what inspired Kristi Measner (Macho) to purchase the current Horseshoe Ballroom building. Measner’s parents, Vernon and Lorraine Macho, met and hosted their wedding dance at the ballroom in 1950.
